Inishowen, the hidden jewel of the North-West, surrounded on three sides by the waters of the Swilly (to the west), the Foyle (to the east), and of course the Atlantic to the north, as well as being criss-crossed by a plethora of rivers and small loughs, is the ideal location to spend a fishing holiday.

Inishowen is unique in the opportunities that it offers to anglers and sporting fishermen of all levels, no matter their particular fishing fancy. Whether its casting from a boat, off the beach and rocks, or from the banks of a river the whole spectrum of fishing delights are available to you in some of the most beautiful settings in Ireland.

A number of different licences, dependant on where you plan to fish, are needed in Inishowen. Lough Foyle and the Culdaff River require a Foyle Fisheries licence. The Crana River which is private has it's own special permits and licences, whilst the Swilly and the rest of Inishowen's rivers are covered by a Southern or local Donegal licence. Always make sure that you have whatever licence or permit is required as these regulations are strictly enforced.

Inishowen is an undiscovered angler's paradise. Nature has conspired to situate the peninsula between two of the most important Salmon River systems in Europe, the Foyle and the Swilly. With six salmon and sea trout bearing rivers within a 20-mile radius, the largest peninsular coastline in Ireland and a wealth of wrecks and rock shelves, Inishowen is unique in its suitability for game angling, rock and shore fishing and sea angling.
